Strengths

  • “This is a welcoming and thoroughly inclusive place to learn.”
  • “Pupils are proud to belong to the school community.”
  • “Pupils are happy and enjoy learning.”

To improve

  • “In a few of the foundation subjects, leaders’ curriculum thinking is at an earlier stage of development.”
  • “Occasionally, teachers do not support pupils to build on what they have learned previously.”
  • “This can reduce how well pupils deepen their knowledge over time.”
